The sacred in the Indian tradition is more an experience than a concept and goes much beyond the narrow confines of an organised temple or even a shrine. The gods of this tradition, as well as those who hold them sacred, are simple and unpretentious yet dignified and self-assured. Whether it is a tree that is held sacred or a naturally occurring stone that is reverred, a river that is the embodiment of divinity itself, an ancestor that is the embodiment of divinity itself, an ancestor that is worshipped, a fabric that is simply draped, a road side shrine on a busy street or a votive terracota horse that is lovingly made and offered, a narrative scroll that holds its audience spell-bound; here is religion at work that is as spontaneous as it is intense, charged with faith, fervor and commitment; now private and now shared, that forms an integral part of the lived lives of these common people, be they rural or urban, tribal or traditional. The rituals and practices for these deities are neither scripted nor canonized, but what they may lack in grandeur, erudition and ceremony, they more than make up in the faith and feeling that they generate. In a civilisation which has encountered majestic truths and erected grand temples, these sacred manifestations and expressions of the ordinary people tend to be sidelined or dismissed by scholars as well as the world at large, as minor or lesser gods worthy of curiosity but not of serious study, but it is important to remember that they have a beauty and presence of their own in the pluralistic Indian tradition.

This is a tale of a driven Archeologist named Toni Zurelli and his team of unique explorers, and the detailed accounts of what happened when they discovered an ancient statue possessing an unspeakable evil, and what happened upon releasing it! They would travel to far off lands both of this world and most certainly of not, and it would bend their wills to the brink of snapping; changing every aspect of their preconceptions of the convenient realities that they'd become accustomed to over their brief existence on the distant planet called Earth!! It all began with Toni and his team scaling the jagged snow-capped cliffs of the Himalayan Mountains, in Tibet, India. They were in search new treasures to bring back for display in the World Museum in Los Angels. And just when all is thought to well on the home front for this misfit band of explorers, fate steps in and has other plans. It takes them to the far reaches of our world and beyond to finally discover the key to the evil that lay waiting in the shadows for it's opportunity to extinguish the last of mankind's brilliance forever!! This epic story resumes to present day where the team are relaxing underneath the intense Mexican sun on a much-needed vacation, and is interrupted with an innocent call from the director of the foreign consulate in L.A., CA. detailing their next mission...

The temples of God are of profound historical and future significance to Jews, Christians, and all of humanity. The original temple was in the Garden of Eden, created not by man’s hands, but by God. After sin came to the Garden, Adam and Eve began the lineage of mankind and from their roots came Jacob’s twelve sons and the Hebrew tribes. King David was a descendant of the tribe of Judah, and his son, Solomon, built an amazing temple in Jerusalem. It was where God’s presence and glory would reside. God told Solomon he would reject the temple if he or his descendants did not live with righteousness. Solomon’s temple was ultimately destroyed. Following a tumultuous period of wars, the second temple was built in Jerusalem by the Jewish exiles returning from Babylon. It was not as ornate as the first, but its magnificence was prophesied—and then came the temple rebuild by Herod the Great. His role in mankind’s history, including his violent kingship and the Massacre of the Innocents, fulfilled prophecy. The birth of Jesus Christ and his death and resurrection also fulfilled prophecy. His activities in the second temple were profound—including his prediction of the destruction of Herod’s temple and all of Jerusalem. The obliteration occurred in AD 70. Mankind’s history then passes through eras of wars and conquest, leading to the hope for a third temple. It will be built in Jerusalem just prior to the Tribulation. Like all the temples of the past, it is prophesied to be defiled and destroyed. At the end of mankind’s earthly history, the final temple will be built by God, after Jesus Christ’s second coming—it will be glorious beyond imagination. Jesus will reside there, with his chosen people. Who is among the chosen? 2

“Death is the back door into the other world. It is not the door of honor and glory. Death is the torturous, round-about way of painful correction. It is the way for those who are not given a great welcome. It is the path of many delays, in which the erroneous ideas accumulated in life may be removed. It is the painful way of correcting the false beliefs and the false standards gathered along the road of life. It is the way of removing the seals that have been placed upon the mind through bigotry, evil, fleshly lusts, an inflated ego or an inferiority complex. Death is the way of nurturing immature, weak souls. It is the way of correction. “There is, however, a front door which is the way of utter glory and honor. This is the door Christ came to reveal and none would believe. This door is opened to all who overcome. It is opened by the very power of their overcoming. “This book is written to reveal, to those who are ready, the beauty and magnificence of that front door. It is a book written out of the fires of eternity. It is your book. It is the map to your own soul, the diagram of you, temple of God. It will reveal the secret powers that will show you how to overcome the thieves and throw out the money-changers. It is the revelation of that wonderful person you were meant to be, with all your unspeakable powers released for growth and eternal happiness and supreme honor, now—and forever more.”—Annalee Skarin

Celestial lovers, guardian deities, gods, goddesses, semidivine and human forms bedeck the magnificient, elaborately sculpted medieval temples of northern India. This handsome catalog of an exhibition at the Asia Society in New York City explains that each temple, rich in symbolism and sacred geometry, was viewed as a microcosmic model of cosmic creation and order. Led by Desai, director of the Asia Society Galleries, and Mason of Boston's Museum of Fine Arts, six scholars discuss the historical background, patterns of royal patronage, architectural placement of images and Hindu stories and hymns as keys to the cult of temple images and to the medieval worship service, "an elaborate multisensory experience." Nearly 200 color and black-and-white plates document a major architectural and sculptural legacy.

When The Earth, the Temple, and the Gods first appeared in 1962, it was hailed by the critics for it erudition, historical imagination and boldness. Subsequently, this comprehensive study of Greek temples and site-planning has been widely accepted as a landmark of architectural history, for it offers an inspired and arresting insight into nature and function of Greek sacred architecture. Vincent Scully, one of America's most brilliant and articulate scholars, understands the temples as physical embodiment of the gods in landscapes that had for the Greeks divine attributes and sacred connotations. He explores the meanings inherent in the calculated interaction between man-made sculptural forces and the natural landscape, and he relates this interaction to our understanding of Greek culture from the pre-Greek Aegean to the Hellenistic period. Years of research and travel were devoted to The Earth, the Temple, and the Gods. Scores of sites were restudied on the spot, including many lesser-known sanctuaries throughout the Hellenic world. The study includes reconstruction drawings, plans, and maps along with its richly illustrated, detailed discussions of major sites.
